Free to good any home: Three moon-drunk felines weighing a total of thirty pounds. Can be separated, but extra vocalizations ensue when two youngest are apart. Special skills/talents: pitiful looks, persistence, precociousness, curiosity, ability to jump long distances, enthusiasm, admirable dedication to chasing computer cursors and wrestling each other. Disadvantages: same. If interested, please reply to keepmycats@takethemnow.net.
Background, in the name of disclosure: These cats are prone to the night-crazies, and have been known to keep household members awake long into the the early morning. Last night’s exhibitions were particularly severe, and have prompted this limited-time offer. For example: The Basil sat under the window and howled at the visible moon. He and Rosemary, both friendly sorts, set up a wrestling tournament on my prone body. Someone threw up. Someone ate it. Someone pooped on the master bathroom floor. Someone attempted to bury it with linoleum. Someone got locked out, and then pawed and meowed at the door until let back in. Someone sat on my head. Someone walked on it. Someone chewed the cat kibbles so loudly the breaking food echoed throughout the room.
And now three someones are in trouble.
This morning came way too early for forgiveness. If they let me sleep tonight, I might allow them to live. I may even keep them, in which case this offer is null and void. But I’m a little cranky, so you’re probably in luck. Anyone? Anyone???
LOL
If you get any takers, I’ll throw in my dog. She’ll fling her body on you the minute anything beeps. She does get along well with cats…
same here I will throw in my dog as well and she gets along with cats as well
I was going to consider your offer, until I got to the barfing-eat-the-barf part. Sorry, I don’t like their cuisine and hope that it wasn’t a barfed up mouse (which makes the idea soooo much more palatable).
Ooh, Ilana and Lucas, way to sweeten the deal! That’ll get people for sure.
Yeah, Kath, not my favorite either. Ick. And just what I want to hear while trying to sleep.
Ooh–I wish I could be the auntie and offer to take them for a bit so you could have some peace and quiet, but Montana is allergic. 🙁
Hope you get some peace and quiet tonight!
I will TOTALLY take Rosie. I frequently wonder why I didn’t take one (I wanted Sage) 5 years ago. I love them. What can I say. However, I have to tell you…after the trials and tribulations I have endured, Echo is my favorite, and I am VERY glad to really be counted among his friends, not just the occasional person he is not cranky toward. 🙂
LOL, if only I didn’t have allergies.
Ewww…. FAR too much like my own home re the puke/eat puke thing. My cat throws up. The dogs race to it. They turn their noses up at fur balls though.
Nice.
I feel for you, I really do. And though you’ve made it extremely tempting— I’m afraid all I have to pass.
Darn allergies!!
Caryn, we have four. We have no place to put the litter boxes except our bedroom. Their dry, munchy food is in our bedroom, too. And they insist on digging their claws into the litter boxes and scraping, scraping, scraping at four a.m., while the other one overeats and throws up so that when I get up to go to the bathroom because I’m awake and they’re being really noisy, it squishes between my toes.
The upside is that I got 3,800 words written before 9 am.
